The Key West back country features a diverse flora and fauna and is the perfect location for snorkeling, kayaking, and diving. Discover Mangrove Islands where you can paddle along narrow waterways under shady canopy and watch sea life and birds as well as a variety of exotic plants. But Key West’s true pride and joy is the only living reef in North America that lies just seven miles off our shores and is also known as an excellent site for diving. Sea life in this reef is extremely diverse with tropical fish, corals, sponges, snails, jellyfish, anemones, crabs, lobsters, rays, sea turtles, nurse sharks, and many other sea creatures. Or float above one of the many shipwrecks that lie on the ocean floor around the Keys. They, too, have become home to a variety of sea creatures. |
